We have been growing this variety for ourselves the past two years, and the flavor is excellent! ‘Bitinjan Battiri' means "Eggplant of Battir," and this is the pale purple eggplant from Palestine's famed Battir Valley. It is commonly served stuffed with meat and/or rice and other vegetables, and the thorny crowns themselves are also considered a delicacy. This variety is from the Palestine Heirloom Seed Library and 50% of the packet price of every packet sold goes back to that project. The plants are very tall, and should be staked to provide support.
